One of the most inspiring evangelical Christians alive today, Joni Eareckson Tada brings comfort to thousands in her latest devotional Pearls of Great Price. In the introduction she says, "I have experienced more than a few irritants in my life, not the least of which is four decades of quadriplegia. The twelve months during which I wrote Pearls of Great Price was a year of pain and hardship like none other. My bones are getting old, tired, thin, and frail...and lately, it's not been easy. But God continues to give layer after layer of life-transforming grace; he has made each irritation smooth and acceptable. All because of his help and hope."

If you or someone you love could use a word of encouragement, find it here every day of the year. Each entry opens with a passage of Scripture from the NIV which is followed by a reflection from Joni. She then calls upon you to respond and offers a prayer designed to lead you closer to Christ. Discover at a deeper level the "help and hope" that can be found only in Christ through these Pearls of Great Price.

I have always admired Joni E. Tada's faith, determination and unshakeable spirit. Her diving accident was indeed so sad when it happened, but now, seeing how God has used Joni for "His kingdom purpose", it is clear He had a plan for Joni, all along her life.

"Pearls of Great Price" is an excellent daily devotional book. Joni includes an appropriate scripture at the beginning of every devotion, as well as a touching prayer at the end. Each wonderfully written devotion speaks to my heart. She has also included an indepth index which references every scripture passage she uses and the day she used it. I have often used this book to enhance my adult S.S. lessons that I teach. Also, I have given it for a gift. I can't say enough about this book.

I love love love love this devotional book! I have looked for many years for a really good devotional. Finally I have found it. Thanks Joni for blessing me daily through God's Word & your writing...I will be purchasing several of these for Christmas gifts knowing how much it blessed me and what a special thing that would be to give away! Thank you CBD for selling this & Thank you Joni =) I've been a fan since I was young...started with your film and then the "Ive got wheels" Tape. Now finding the devotional...gets better & better
